Our guess is many of you foodies already have these ingredients in your kitchen. So what are you waiting for? Satisfy that sweet tooth!

Hi Rhoda! It’s a little bit tricky to substitute the banana in this recipe, as it’s basically the main ingredient, holding everything together and also giving the taste! Maybe you wanna try a 3 ingredient cake made of flour, eggs & sugar 🙂 here’s one example recipe: https://washoku.guide/recipe/1426499
Hope we could help you! 🙂

Mine did not turn out looking like yours. After 1 minute in the microwave it was still jiggly. So I put it in for another minute. It pulled away from the side of the bowl but looks more like a pudding than your fluffy looking cake. I wonder if my banana was too large?

Oh my, oh my. Just made this and so tempted to eat the entire cake. Have to share with my daughter who is always looking for gluten free recipes. I’m not much for banana in anything except for banana bread with nuts, of course. Now I have something else. Next time I’ll add nuts and drop a few morsels of chocolate on top to melt.

Thank you for this great, quick recipe. I microwaved for a total of 1.5 mins.

Hey Celine! You sure can make a bigger cake by multiplying everything with 3. But we’d recommend putting it in the oven for about 15-20 minutes then. Just take it out after 15 minutes and if it’s still too gooey just put it back in for a couple minutes. 🙂

I made this “cake” last night, following the instructions, not changing anything. Please, PLEASE don’t call this a cake. It’s more of a custard than anything else. The taste was only so-so. With all due respect, I won’t be making this again, but thank you for sharing the recipe. It was a good experience.

Made a cake with this recipe. Multiplied it by 6 and put it in an 8 by 8 baking pan. Waiting for it to come out right now I’m excited! I have made cookies with a similar recipe with bananas, oatmeal, cocoa powder but no eggs. They’re pretty good, so I have a pretty good idea what it will taste like. I’m always looking for a recipe to cut down on the calories as I’m on Weight Watchers. These are very low point value.

The cake came out good and it does have a kind of a custurdy texture but it’s not really wet. A little bland… I will make it again but I think I will add more cocoa powder and sweetener. Then it should be good. Might add oatmeal for a different texture.

In the microwave for 1 minute and it was still liquidy at the bottom. I am afraid the egg won’t be cooked fully. I added another 40 seconds, it’s better but there is still a little bit of liquid. I am going to try a little longer. … 15 more seconds later still liquid at the bottom.. Not too keen on the recipe. Too scared to try it.

I am on a gluten free diet also lactose and nut free I can not wait to try this!! This is first recipe I have found that fits my limitations. My Dr. has told me eating eggs is good form of protein and it is lactose free.

I’m so sad, I was really excited to try this because I’m going sugar free for a bit, and I put this in my microwave and it was this gross sponge like consistency that I would never want to eat and it was also super watery. I even kept adding more time and ended up microwaving for 3 minutes but it just stayed the same
